Update: 5/19/23

  • We've fixed the FoundryVTT Packs for Fire Giant Mine and Rust Monster Mine (lots of mines lately)
  • Bob and I are working to get to the bottom of the Foundry Manifest URL issues. We've already fixed a bunch of them #53-current, but if you see some more, please let us know directly via Discord, and we'll get it fixed right away. I hope to have all of them fixed by the end of this week.

Fifth Edition "drop-in" adventures created by DMDave and the writing team. Each adventure features a specific monster in its typical environment. Although the featured monster is the adventure's dominant creature, it isn't the only creature, hazard, or obstacle found there.

Single-Sessions. Most of the adventures have a playtime of 3-4 hours, although there are some longer ones available.

Easy-to-read. The adventures are designed to be read quickly, making them easy to bring to the table.

Adjustable. They also have details on adjusting the adventure to fit a range of levels, typically one or two tiers of play.

The Great Index

This page offers all Dungeons & Lairs adventures organized by patron tier.

The Haunted Castle. on the unlocked "Download VTT Pack" page there is no zip file.

Nice collection! minor note for this page: Xorn should be above Yeti if you are keeping it alphabetized. :)

Newb Patreon here, Electrum. Is there a way to pull all these vtt versions down in bulk instead of having to go to each post? Thanks! Great content.

Unfortunately, no, as that would just beg a bunch of folks to come in and swipe everything in one shot, then quit or worse sell it somewhere else.. While I try to be generous I do have limits haha I may add a "Foundry Pack" buckler, however, for one of the higher-level tiers. I'll see if it comes up.

My characters are about to enter Mammon's temple, which is a bank. I already have a design for the first floor, because I had to come up with it on the fly when a PC cast Arcane Eye to go inside. I want the lower floors to be increasingly difficult, a la the early AD&D dungeons, all the way to Mammon himself on the bottom floor. Dave, or any fellow patrons, are there any of these lairs that come to mind as good places to insert or adapt into my campaign here?

dmdave
>>103727509

Sorry, just seeing this now. Did you figure out what you wanted to do?

Anonymous
>>103727509

Not really. I have a single-floor layout penciled in, but they haven't made it through the opening room yet. I'm also debating whether I want them to even spend that much time in the bank, since I have so much prepped for the lich's tower. (There's a lot going on in this town.)

>>102407729

The way Foundry VTT works it's each "module" is a separate URL, so it does not really lend itself to bulk DL.

virtuadept

Suggestion - Please add the Dungeons & Lairs "issue number" (like D&L 65 Yeti Caverns did) and/or the original date of publication so we know which ones of these are the older ones and which are new. This will help us if we're trying to search the page for ones that are recent that we didn't get. Appreciate the hard work on making this index. I believe that the Foundry VTT manifests / importing is broken for all of the ones I tried that are prior to #52 or so. I didn't try 50+ but I didn't find any that worked.

dmdave
>>108047179

Yeah we gotta fix the links. It’s due to our old uploader not being compatible with newer editions. Bob should start fixing them as soon as this week. Right now we’re just fixing them to order

Ltbadger

whoa I joined even later, if you have still not worked it out please say. If you worked it out, I would love to hear your solution.

Ltbadger

Huge time difference finding individual adventures. Maybe bucklers next. There's also books now since I was last on. Anyways <3 keep up the awesomeness
